While the deformation induces level splittings from the degenerate spherical orbits, the pion-exchanged tensor force provides an additional contribution that increases them in the prolate case.

It is found that the pion tensor force, through its long-range attraction, counteracts cluster dissolution by balancing against Coulomb repulsion.
